GREAT news from the pharmacological point of view in the #Covid_19 fight! Small pre-print with huge potential!
The researcher showed that a small lipopeptide (a fat molecule bind to a small chain of AA) sprayed intranasally in ferret prevent Sars-CoV2 infection. 1/n
The researcher showed that a small lipopeptide (a fat molecule bind to a small chain of AA) sprayed intranasally in ferret prevent Sars-CoV2 infection. 1/n
Infected ferrets were housed with healthy one for 20 days. Green dots represent ferrets treated with the lipopeptide, and the graph reports the viral load (classical PCR swab). This result indicates that the spray completely prevents Sars-CoV2 entrance. 2/n
As a matter of fact, ferrets treated with the spray didn't develop ANY antibodies. My PERSONAL view: this approach can be coupled with the vaccination to reach a complete protein against #SARS_CoV_2.
Extremely interesting work to keep in mind for our battle against Covid19. @gianlucac1 @ThManfredi @CrossWordsCW @antonioripa @bicidiario @Doom3Gloom @vassiljieva

@MatteoBosso92 your take on this work???
Post scriptum, small detail not negligible. The compound is NOT toxic!
